There are described benzoylguanidines of the formula I <IMAGE> in which R(1) or R(2) is an amino group -NR(3)R(4), where R(3) and R(4) are equal to H, (cyclo)alkyl or R(3) is equal to phenyl-(CH2)p- where p = 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4, or phenyl, or R(3) and R(4) together can also be a methylene chain, and in which the other substituent R(1) or R(2) in each case is H, F, Cl, alkyl, alkoxy, CF3, CmF2m+1-CH2-, benzyl or phenoxy, and their pharmaceutically tolerable salts. The compounds according to the invention have very good antiarrhythmic properties, such as they show, for example, in the case of oxygen deficiency symptoms. The compounds are used as antiarrhythmic medicaments having a cardioprotective component for infarct prophylaxis and infarct treatment and also for the treatment of angina pectoris, where they preventively inhibit or strongly decrease the pathophysiological processes during the formation of ischaemically induced damage, in particular during the induction of ischaemically induced cardiac arrhythmias. |
